Yes, he beat Canelo twice by eating clean power punches in the first bout and being outworked in the second bout.
He ate clean power punches like a donkey lol. Canelo landed cleaner power punches, had better punch accuracy and had better defensive skills in the first bout. He made GGG silly. Golovkin is jab merchant.
Kovalev got a career high payday up to that point when he fought Ward. Only a fool would think guys like Monore Murray and Lemieux bring more money than Ward. You're trolling now with this ****. Just admit you lost this debate and move on. You can't justify GGG taking on guys like the ones I mentioned instead of Ward who offered a legacy fight and a career high payday. Canelo never agreed to fight GGG back then, there was no contract. GGG was hoping to fight him big difference. GGG also took more step aside money than any fighter in recent money so he loves money but not enough to take that schooling against Ward apparently.
He got outjabbed, not outlanded. I watched the fight in slow motion and understood that Canelo toyed with him.
How people can't see this is beyond me. Canelo also landed a lot more body punches and had far better ring generalship throughout.
Don't play dumb like that's all he was doing. He shook his head one time in Round 5 after GGG finally landed a shot with him on the ropes to show yeah it landed but it didn't affect him. Canelo was landing the better and heavier shots. GGG outworked him in spurts with mostly jabs, but it was largely ineffective and GGG's work by in large wasn't better than the clean shots Canelo was landing.
@shadow111 Your opinion is worthless since you officially live inside Canelo's nutsack. Ofc, you must take special Mexican dance classes to learn that. Ginger dropped his belt because he was busy taking those classes.
In first fight Canelo outlanded GGG on power punches in 7 of 12 rounds. . His connect % was higher @ 41% > 32% He made GGG miss 500 punches . 218 landed 703 thrown. Golovkin's offence was shut down. But Canalo gave away rounds 4-9 and got out worked when his own offence died down. . Ward can work for 3mins of every round. His endurance was exceptional. GGG would have took a drubbing from Ward. Thats why he chose to fight Dom Wade instead
Whitaker: Ohh, what a footwork and head movement! Mayweather: Defensive genius! He schooled everyone! Canelo: Mexican dance.
Weak comeback. Total deflection on your part. Everything I stated is accurate and easily seen if you're paying attention, you got Canelo issues.
Golovkin brings more viewers than Ward. GGG would be lining Ward "lets pay Brant 30k" McScrooge's pockets.
